Joshua 19:50

Ephraim (Territory)Timnath-serah

48 This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Dan, including these cities and their villages.

49 When they had finished distributing the land into its territories, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them,

as the LORD had commanded. They gave him the city of Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, as he requested. He rebuilt the city and settled in it.

51 These are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families distributed by lot to the tribes of Israel at Shiloh before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. So they finished dividing up the land.
